Speaker 1: Ka boom. If you thought more hours a day, minutes
Speaker 1: a week was enough, think again. He's the last remnants
Speaker 1: of the old republic, a sole fashion of fairness. He
Speaker 1: treats crackheads in the ghetto cutter the same as the
Speaker 1: rich pill poppers in the penthouse, to clearinghouse of hot takes,
Speaker 1: break free for something special. The Fifth Hour with Ben
Speaker 1: Maller starts right now. That it does. We are in
Speaker 1: the air everywhere as we b moviate all weekend long.
Speaker 1: Happy Saturday, Saturday Saturday, and welcome into the Magic podcast
Speaker 1: Salt Mine here one foot in front of the other,
Speaker 1: a spinoff of the radio show The Ben Maller Show.
Speaker 1: We thank you for finding us, and you know, to
Speaker 1: tell a friend. Word of mouth advertising the only budget
Speaker 1: we have. You will never see a billboard, You will
Speaker 1: never really hear any kind of commercial or watch a
Speaker 1: commercial on TV. The marketing that we have is word
Speaker 1: of mouth marketing. It's you telling your friends and enemies
Speaker 1: to listen to the podcast. Hey, and I've told the
Speaker 1: story be four that you know years ago, I used
Speaker 1: to I was before I got married. I was, I was,
Speaker 1: you know, dating random people, and somebody I dated reached
Speaker 1: out to me a couple of months back because they
Speaker 1: were on a date and the person they were with
Speaker 1: a date on a date with they were asking they
Speaker 1: were talking about podcasts, and the person recommended our podcast
Speaker 1: and it was it was pretty cool. But that's word
Speaker 1: of mouth advertising. David gascon West of the four oh
Speaker 1: five is here on a Saturday, two days in a row.
Speaker 1: It's amazing. I'm a little sore after yesterday's festivities. UM.
Speaker 1: I feel like we're in the high brush right now,
Speaker 1: just kind of bobbing and we even through the weeds. Uh.
Speaker 1: To see any kind of random sniper fire, any kind
Speaker 1: of gorilla combat tactics, UM, I would be really curious.
Speaker 1: I don't have these special access, but I'd love to
Speaker 1: just be a be a fly on the all to
Speaker 1: see what goes inside the ben mallor inbox after this weekend,
Speaker 1: I am. I am bobbing and weaving, uh and attempting
Speaker 1: to avoid looking at that. But yeah, the the Snowflake
Speaker 1: Army and not gonna like listen. I thought it was great.
Speaker 1: I love talking to people that are smarter than me,
Speaker 1: which is pretty much anybody. Um, pretty dumb. But Dr
Speaker 1: gads at his life experience and people always want to
Speaker 1: push back and this, that and the other thing. You know,
Speaker 1: you know you're you're wrong because you don't agree with me,
Speaker 1: and I was, But this guy's lived, he's walked the walk.
Speaker 1: You know, he's a kid he grew up in in
Speaker 1: Lebanon and saw what had happened to his family, and
Speaker 1: so he's he's got that life experience, which I think,
Speaker 1: you know, at least when my world, I put value
Speaker 1: on that U but not everyone does. It was a
Speaker 1: great interview if you missed it. Uh, this is one
Speaker 1: leading uh intellectuals. I mean, he's a real life intellectual,
Speaker 1: but he's not the normal intellectual well that you know,
Speaker 1: tows the company line. He's on the other side pushing
Speaker 1: back against this Doctor Sad was wonderful and I hope
Speaker 1: we can have him on again. And I watched a
Speaker 1: bunch of videos this week to get ready for that
Speaker 1: on his YouTube channel, The Sad Truth. And as someone
Speaker 1: that appreciates satire, I really it really resonated with me
Speaker 1: because I you know, I used to have a boss
Speaker 1: years ago that just did not get sarcasm. And uh,
Speaker 1: A lot of the stikola that we put on the
Speaker 1: radio is sarcastically based. If you take everything literally, you
Speaker 1: will think I'm the biggest asshole in the world. Um
Speaker 1: and uh and so so it's it's nice when someone
Speaker 1: dabbles in that world. And as he pointed out, which
Speaker 1: I thought was great Dr Sad in the interview, uh,
Speaker 1: that there are some some people who are so tone
Speaker 1: death to satire that they would quote him verbatim when
Speaker 1: he was clearly you know, tongue in cheek with his
Speaker 1: with his phrase. It was it was enjoyable to hear
Speaker 1: here that I hope we can get him. You know,
Speaker 1: we're based in southern California. I hope he can come back.
Speaker 1: But it's it is difficult because you know, anybody that
Speaker 1: hires him, you're gonna have this army of morons saying no, no, no,
Speaker 1: no dissenting opinions, no one that disagrees with us. We
Speaker 1: all have to think the same and all that. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he diig at least give me a little underlying sense
Speaker 1: that I need to get up and travel again. I
Speaker 1: know the country's coming back to normal and what not.
Speaker 1: People are doing a good length of traveling between coasts
Speaker 1: the coast, but yeah, I mean to get international again
Speaker 1: and that's where the real education comes. When you can
Speaker 1: only read so much and see so much on news
Speaker 1: or social media. But getting out there, commuting, meeting people
Speaker 1: of different ages and races and religions and nationalities, it's
Speaker 1: a it's a beautiful thing, man. Yeah. No, no, I
Speaker 1: have not done that. You might I have gone to
Speaker 1: Oceania in Hawaii. No, no, no, I've been the cattle.
Speaker 1: I love cattle. I wish I could afford a house
Speaker 1: on cattle and I would live there. That plays beautiful,
Speaker 1: But I know you it's below you because you grew
Speaker 1: up just across the water there on the west of
Speaker 1: the four oh five. So cattle, you know, islands like uh,
Speaker 1: you know, look a pea in the ocean. But uh,
Speaker 1: but but not I I'm not traveled abroad. At some point,
Speaker 1: when I win the lottery or get a high paying job,
Speaker 1: I think I will will dabble. And so my wife
Speaker 1: wants to do a lot of traveling. She wants to
Speaker 1: go everywhere and see everything. Maybe the northern the northern lights,
Speaker 1: the big ones. You wants to see the northern lights.
Speaker 1: That's a big, big thing for her. Families from that
Speaker 1: part of the world and whatnot. So why don't make it,
Speaker 1: Because did you ever do that with your with your
Speaker 1: parents when you were a kid. Every year it was
Speaker 1: always like one vacation spot or something that you guys
Speaker 1: all did as a family. No, no, I mean we
Speaker 1: would go we would yeah, I mean you go on vacation.
Speaker 1: We'd go to like Phoenix because I had family in Phoenix,
Speaker 1: or we go you know, the Flagstaff, Arizona or Vegas
Speaker 1: or you know, you know somewhere. I went to Chicago.
Speaker 1: I got family in Chicago, so we had a family
Speaker 1: reunion in Chico. Usually these big extravagant family reunions, and
Speaker 1: then the older generation died off and then they stopped
Speaker 1: doing that. But uh, yeah I was a kid, we
Speaker 1: used to these big family reunions and they'd have t
Speaker 1: shirts made and hats and all this, uh this crap
Speaker 1: holder that they would make back in the back in
Speaker 1: the day gascon. So they did do that. But on
Speaker 1: this podcast, we have you f oh pop quiz as well,
Speaker 1: so we'll we'll keep it lean and mean and anything
Speaker 1: else you want to add, gascon, you can certainly toss that. Yes,
Speaker 1: that sounds good, all right. So the other night on
Speaker 1: sixty Minutes, a news program, which is been dabbling in
Speaker 1: some biased reporting. But on the on the UFO story, uh,
Speaker 1: there was there was an interesting twenty minute block where
Speaker 1: they dedicated to a bunch of active military former meal.
Speaker 1: I don't know if there was any active military. Actually,
Speaker 1: I think it was former military who commented on regularly
Speaker 1: seeing unidentified flying orbs on the west coast and the
Speaker 1: east coast. And Senator Marco Rubio from Florida is leading
Speaker 1: the charge to get the information on UFOs out. If
Speaker 1: people do know what's what's going on, it's a it's
Speaker 1: a fascinating story. You know. I have dabbled on talking
Speaker 1: about this. I don't want to go full art bell
Speaker 1: coast to coast back in the day and and all that,
Speaker 1: but it's an interesting thing. You know, what the heck
Speaker 1: is it right? What is there? A simple explanation. I
Speaker 1: think the first thing you have to get to is
Speaker 1: say is there something there? Yes? What is it? Right?
Speaker 1: Is it? Man? May aid? Is it something else that's
Speaker 1: going on? You know that? So I'm fascinated by this,
Speaker 1: as you know, I have mentioned I saw when I
Speaker 1: was hiking in the hills around l a years ago,
Speaker 1: I saw these five little floating it's hard to describe.
Speaker 1: They weren't like balloons, and they weren't drones. They were
Speaker 1: moving up and down and all around and and I
Speaker 1: don't know what the hell they were. I've never seen
Speaker 1: anything like it. And they just kind of went over
Speaker 1: the horizon and then that was it, and I went
Speaker 1: I wasn't wondering what the heck was that, you know,
Speaker 1: somebody mind effing me, you know, that kind of thing
Speaker 1: and all that. Uh So that was kind of my
Speaker 1: vague experience with something that I wasn't exactly sure what
Speaker 1: it was, right, I wasn't exactly sure what it was.
Speaker 1: And so I look at these stories and I'm like, well,
Speaker 1: what's you know, what's going on here? What's what's the word?
Speaker 1: And do you do we expect I guess the questions
Speaker 1: do we expect some big revelation that when Marco Rubio
Speaker 1: is demanding information is released to the public, and you know,
Speaker 1: you know, stuff flying around restricted US airspace, what are
Speaker 1: the chances we actually get something out of that? Right? Not?
Speaker 1: I don't think much. I think the argument has always
Speaker 1: been like, you're you're willing to say that there's something
Speaker 1: we don't know, but once you cross the line and say, well,
Speaker 1: we have proof that let's say this is from another universe,
Speaker 1: this is aliens. Well, then that that people and then
Speaker 1: have to question a lot of things, people that don't
Speaker 1: believe in aliens, right and people. So then that opens
Speaker 1: up a whole big can of worms. It becomes problematic.
Speaker 1: But I did read somewhere that there there's most likely
Speaker 1: just four true outcomes of the the u PO thing.
Speaker 1: All right, so foreign intelligence, right, Well, no, the four
Speaker 1: are aliens, right, which would be the first one that
Speaker 1: this is actually alien interaction with human beings. Uh, there's
Speaker 1: the possibility that there's some Albert Einstein cat that lives
Speaker 1: amongst us that is working for the United States or
Speaker 1: some other country, and as like an aerospace engineer is
Speaker 1: thousands of years ahead of where everyone else is, there's
Speaker 1: that possibility. That's story number two. Um, there's possibility that
Speaker 1: maybe there's something else living on the planet this entire
Speaker 1: time that we have never heard about, that lives maybe
Speaker 1: at the bottom of the ocean or something like that
Speaker 1: that we have no idea that exists and occasionally pops
Speaker 1: up out of the ocean. Uh. Then the other thing,
Speaker 1: and I remember there's a guy Art Bell used to
Speaker 1: have doctor Lazier I think is his name. I don't
Speaker 1: even know if he's a doctor Lazier, you know what
Speaker 1: I'm talking about. He was on Coast to Coast. I
Speaker 1: think he's still on Coast to Coast, but I'm I
Speaker 1: don't listen much because I'm on when he's on. George Norry.
Speaker 1: But uh, he claimed that that a lot of this
Speaker 1: is actually alien technology, but like alien craft crashed and
Speaker 1: then scientists were able to reverse engineer the technology, like
Speaker 1: an alien ship crash somewhere, you know, like the Roswell theory. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but gosh, wouldn't you imagine the technology being so sophisticated
Speaker 1: that we couldn't reverse the engineer it. There's a lot
Speaker 1: of smart people though, I mean there are. And if
Speaker 1: you have the basis of it and you know it
Speaker 1: seems it's your your mind starts spinning and all that.
Speaker 1: You know, like, oh man, But if you have the
Speaker 1: nuts and bolts of it and you know a little
Speaker 1: bit about it, maybe there's just a simple way to
Speaker 1: do this, to have planes fly at thirteen thousand miles
Speaker 1: an hours. You know, It's just it's fascinating to me.
Speaker 1: And remember talking to my dad about this. It was
Speaker 1: big into space and all that stuff, and you know,
Speaker 1: you wonder what was out there. And at some point,
Speaker 1: I don't know that I'll be around, but at some
Speaker 1: point there will be some big revelation. I think the math,
Speaker 1: considering the universe for our from our perspective, were like
Speaker 1: a grain of sand on the beach, right, it just
Speaker 1: goes on forever. I think that the math would indicate
Speaker 1: there's probably a whole bunch of life out there, far
Speaker 1: far away, separated out in the middle of the Sahara
Speaker 1: Desert of planets. And uh, it's fascinating though, it really is.
Speaker 1: It is, And I'm but you can't expect the United
Speaker 1: States government to to release information all across I think
Speaker 1: part of it. You don't think Joe Biden is gonna
Speaker 1: get up there, sleepy Joe and say, by the way,
Speaker 1: the goblins came down and chatted with us on Wednesday.
Speaker 1: He wouldn't be able to get it out. And no
Speaker 1: one's going to type it on a tellustrator for him,
Speaker 1: so our teleprompters. So there's no chance and how that's
Speaker 1: gonna happen. So that's not gonna No, it's not gonna
Speaker 1: take a place you're not gonna get a whistle blower.
Speaker 1: You're not gonna get someone that goes rogue and starts
Speaker 1: spilling an information. Um. Part of it's probably because they
Speaker 1: want to control that info, and the other thing is
Speaker 1: they don't want to cause panic. Well that's here in
Speaker 1: the United States or just internationally. Yeum. But like these
Speaker 1: these these orbs though, and I saw some of the
Speaker 1: video they had on sixty minutes, but it's been on
Speaker 1: floating around the internet for years, These these things that
Speaker 1: are flatting around, Like you think there's like a living
Speaker 1: creature in there or is it like a drone. I'm
Speaker 1: trying to like figure out. They're pretty big, so you
Speaker 1: could conceivably have some kind of living goblin in there, right, Yeah,
Speaker 1: a varmit or something like that. Are you armed? Are
Speaker 1: you protected? Do you have do you have? Emma? That's
Speaker 1: the question for me to you. Oh yeah, like yeah,
Speaker 1: you're gonna pull out your p shooter and take down
Speaker 1: alien technology. That is a great thing, like every old
Speaker 1: school alien invasion movie. Would the countries of the world unite?
Speaker 1: Like if that's that's whole, that's day, right, Yeah, I
Speaker 1: guess hope this is peaceful or whatever. You know, it's
Speaker 1: just curious and we're just you know, what if what
Speaker 1: if we're all just guinea pigs and these people are
Speaker 1: overlords and they're they're just watching us and observing, like
Speaker 1: we're just in a Petrie dish, that would be what
Speaker 1: But but no, like if would everyone unite like China, Russia,
Speaker 1: US all these evil allah you know, enemies of you know,
Speaker 1: different countries. Would everyone stand together and and unite their
Speaker 1: armies to battle the bad guys? Or would everyone be
Speaker 1: out for themselves and try to make a side deal.
Speaker 1: I think I think the United States, Canada, and the
Speaker 1: EU would would form an alliance that would fight back,
Speaker 1: and I think the Russians the Chinese would sit and
Speaker 1: wait on the sidelines, hoping that we get destroyed and
Speaker 1: they survive and the aliens or the artificial intelligence gets
Speaker 1: destroyed simultaneously and they just become the dominators of this globe.
Speaker 1: We'll see what the what the future holds with you
Speaker 1: if as yeah, man, it really you know, living here
Speaker 1: in in l A and you look up at the
Speaker 1: sky and you only see a fraction of the stars,
Speaker 1: but when you go out to the desert, it, yeah,
Speaker 1: it's wild man. You get away from those city lights
Speaker 1: and you see what's out there, and it is. It
Speaker 1: is crazy. You know. One of the ways I pay
Speaker 1: respect to my dad as he as he loved space,
Speaker 1: and I signed up at NASA. I think I've talked
Speaker 1: about this before, but you can sign up um and
Speaker 1: they'll text you when the International Space Station is flying
Speaker 1: over your city and it's you know, a small way
Speaker 1: to pay homage to my my father. So I'll try
Speaker 1: to do that. I don't do it all the time,
Speaker 1: but you know, I'll randomly go out and it's so
Speaker 1: it's so crazy because you go out and they tell you,
Speaker 1: like whearing the sky to look and they'll be like,
Speaker 1: they'll send you a text. On the NASSA website. You
Speaker 1: can sign up for it and you know, for like
Speaker 1: five minutes. Sometimes it's only for like, you know, a minute,
Speaker 1: but for five seven minutes you can spot this little blob,
Speaker 1: you know, flying You can see it on a clear night.
Speaker 1: You know, you can see the damn thing. It's crazy.
Speaker 1: It's pretty wild. I think there's human beings up there
Speaker 1: and there's floating along just nuts. And that's not even
Speaker 1: that far away. I mean, really in the big picture
Speaker 1: compared to what's out there in the ethos. It's it's wild,
Speaker 1: all right. We have pop quiz. You wanted some pop
Speaker 1: quays here, we had some. We've had some heavy talks
Speaker 1: of the last twenty four hours. So yeah, I got
Speaker 1: a light in the load, a little bit light in
Speaker 1: the load. And I have to wear my hazmat suit
Speaker 1: when I opened up the email because of you. Jeez
Speaker 1: my god. Alright, anyway, Uh, these are things I found
Speaker 1: around the internet, and I asked gascon. But really I'm
Speaker 1: asking you. I'm really asking you, and you can play along. Understand.
Speaker 1: A new report claims most Americans have not changed this
Speaker 1: in at least three years. What have they not changed? Um,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say. I'm gonna say they're bed sheets. It's disgusting. No,
Speaker 1: I didn't say not washed and not changed, all right,
Speaker 1: I was gonna say that discussed. No, it's the voicemail,

Speaker 1: new a new report claims two and five people will
Speaker 1: refuse to buy a car unless it has one of
Speaker 1: these what is it? Um? Bluetooth? People know this is
Speaker 1: the most benign thing. A cup holder? Who who the
Speaker 1: hell is making cars without a cup holder? Anyway? Can

Speaker 1: not been car shopping in a while. But can you

Speaker 1: same treats. I guess they like Scooby stocks right right?
Speaker 1: Does that mean that people are eating dog treats or
Speaker 1: the people are feeding the dog their own treats? Could
Speaker 1: be both? Yea. I have heard stories and I remember
Speaker 1: as a kid, I heard stories that if as an
Speaker 1: urban legend or not. Maybe I was just being having
Speaker 1: my chain pull that like old people eat dog food
Speaker 1: and stuff and that's weird. It was cheaper, and I
Speaker 1: hope not, but all right, About one in five people
Speaker 1: so close to will do this immediately after a divorce.
Speaker 1: What is it? Go up sacks uh. I like to
Speaker 1: think it would be more than one in five, but
Speaker 1: now it moved back in with their parents. Back with
Speaker 1: the parents ends again. Yeah, less because you can't afford
Speaker 1: to live anywhere, depending on what if you're like here
Speaker 1: in in l A or something you can't afford it.
Speaker 1: It's out of control. All right. Let's see here a
Speaker 1: page down here, page down, sixty of women say they
Speaker 1: are willing to kiss a guy on a first date
Speaker 1: if he talks about this. This is important for you,
Speaker 1: guest GN, because you're a single guy. Family family, yes,
Speaker 1: but something specificans go even further. Mom, yeah, boom, yeah,

Speaker 1: made man that that woman over there, your date will
Speaker 1: puck her up and a heavy deck of fifty two
Speaker 1: cards spend Mallory. I got four aces, so wow, I
Speaker 1: got no problem. He played the mom card from the bottom.
Speaker 1: I'll play anything. Oh, you're a dirty dog, man, you're
Speaker 1: dirty dog. I know you're a dirty dog because you
Speaker 1: spent last week recruiting fans to call in and harass
Speaker 1: me on the professional radio show. As you said, a
Speaker 1: word of mouth marketing, Ben Mallory, And that's uh, that's
Speaker 1: what's on. But I'm a captive audience. You don't have
Speaker 1: to get me to do it because I'm already on
Speaker 1: the damn thing. Yeah, but if you have an audience
Speaker 1: that doesn't listen to the podcast on your said radio show,
Speaker 1: then it brings them on over mhm, alright, one in five,
Speaker 1: one in five. Yet again, so a one in five
Speaker 1: of us prefer to do this shore at home. All
Speaker 1: the rest of us do it elsewhere. What is it?
Speaker 1: Wash the car? That's correct? Now? Are you a fan
Speaker 1: of the hosing down in one of those stalls and
Speaker 1: then just you know, you know, soaping it up on
Speaker 1: your own? Uh? Yeah? Like I I enjoy washing the car,
Speaker 1: but I'm the type that wants to really get it
Speaker 1: as clean as possible. So it's a several hour process.
Speaker 1: It's not just like a thirty minute rinched it down,
Speaker 1: Like I gotta get the vacuum out, I gotta and
Speaker 1: everything out, you know, and and and so that's the
Speaker 1: frustrating part because it's a big time commitment to do
Speaker 1: it properly. And but then like my wife years ago
Speaker 1: took the car to get detailed, and man, did that
Speaker 1: thing that just like a brand new car. Yeah, you
Speaker 1: can see your reflection on it, right, Yeah, it's crazy, man,
Speaker 1: how good they can do that? Wild? But yeah, I
Speaker 1: like washing the car. I feel like I've accomplished something,
Speaker 1: but I need the proper amount of time. I don't
Speaker 1: want to do a half ash job, like you know,
Speaker 1: I I we call it given the car the horse bath.
Speaker 1: You know, you just kind of hose it off and
Speaker 1: you don't really watch. And I don't want to do that,
Speaker 1: you know. Yeah, what what I haven't heard that. I
Speaker 1: haven't heard that a long time. You've not well that's
Speaker 1: you know that me? Come on, yeah, what's wrong with that?
Speaker 1: I know? Yeah? I mean you take a horse because
Speaker 1: it's a sponge bath. Anyone knows that. You know, you
Speaker 1: do that all the time when you're leaving. You know,
Speaker 1: certain places you get that talot tallet with you and
Speaker 1: you hose down. It's for a good occasion though, alright.
Speaker 1: A new survey asked brides to be what they dread
Speaker 1: most about their upcoming wedding. Sixty percent of these ladies
Speaker 1: said this, which is twelve percent more than about five
Speaker 1: years ago. What are they not looking forward to reading
Speaker 1: the vows? No? No, something else? The guests kind of
Speaker 1: kind of No, it's actually the best man's speech. Oh wow, Yeah,
Speaker 1: some drunk dude getting up there and just talking about
Speaker 1: all the all the ladies. This guy your your husband
Speaker 1: now hooked up with back in the day. And I
Speaker 1: don't know if this is just the mail side of me.
Speaker 1: But I prefer to listen to a best man's speech
Speaker 1: over a maid of honor. I agree, you're so cute.
Speaker 1: I've known you since third grade and sappy. Now, guys
Speaker 1: will tell truth. Guys will him letsh, but they'll'll tell
Speaker 1: the true. Yeah, they don't clean it up. Yeah, we
Speaker 1: don't need cute at a wedding. You know, we got
Speaker 1: the other bullshit, So yeah. New survey asked Americans to
Speaker 1: name a signal that summer has officially begun. One in
Speaker 1: three people said it was when this happens. What is it?
Speaker 1: What is the sign that it is summer time in
Speaker 1: the city? Mm hmm. People are posting um more flat
Speaker 1: more American flags outside. No, no, it is the sound
Speaker 1: of the Mr. Softie truck, the ice cream truck coming
Speaker 1: down the street. I'll tell you. Living in California, we
Speaker 1: have the ice cream truck year round. So yeah, I
Speaker 1: don't know. I hear the Mr Softy music going on
Speaker 1: and all that's officially a Mr. Softy truck is just
Speaker 1: an ice cream truck. But yeah, who is the first
Speaker 1: guy to them up with and said, this is a
Speaker 1: good idea to to attract kids to run buy ice cream,
Speaker 1: play the play the music. I don't know. I wonder
Speaker 1: if he's got a criminal background though. Those ice cream
Speaker 1: trucks have everything. Man, they're amazing. Oh it's so good.
Speaker 1: I mean it's awesome. I used to get upset when
Speaker 1: I was a kid because I try to get more
Speaker 1: of the exotic stuff, some of the special specialty items,
Speaker 1: and they sometimes they wouldn't have them, and I get
Speaker 1: so pissed. I'm like, well, you have it on your
Speaker 1: little sign on you right man? What's up with that? Anyway,
Speaker 1: if you're going to buy one of these, chances are
Speaker 1: you're going to use it within the first week. What
Speaker 1: is it? Snowboard? Snowboard? No candle? Oh h yeah, you know,
Speaker 1: I think that's true. I have candles, but I forget
Speaker 1: about them. But I haven't used And once you don't
Speaker 1: use it right away, you out of sight, out of mind,
Speaker 1: you forget about. What about the hippie. Uh yeah, she's
Speaker 1: she's got something she doesn't has hasn't as much of that,
Speaker 1: but yeah she has something. But I talked about for me,
Speaker 1: incense rights you whatever, you get this that and the
Speaker 1: other thing. Uh, let's see, you're of the ladies. Will
Speaker 1: not let their man do this. What is it? Uh?
Speaker 1: Go on? A guy's not out. It's not bad, but
Speaker 1: it's actually like repair and fixed stuff like the car,
Speaker 1: the house, the d I y do it yourself, none
Speaker 1: of that. I'll just hire another guy, a random and
Speaker 1: the random dude to do it. Pretty much, pretty pretty much.
Speaker 1: I love the idea of just doing projects off YouTube,
Speaker 1: and I've done a few of them. But it always
Speaker 1: seems so much easier for the person in the YouTube video.
Speaker 1: Have you noticed that. Ye, Like, it's always like it's like, oh,
Speaker 1: they do it right away, and then you do. It's
Speaker 1: like it doesn't quite go the way that that they
Speaker 1: do it. Like simple stuff but like you know, take
Speaker 1: screens off doors you a certain way that are hard
Speaker 1: to take off stuff like that. Multiple takes. Yeah, most likely,
Speaker 1: all right, much to this chagrine of four million people
Speaker 1: do this every year, even though they really didn't mean to.
Speaker 1: M hmm, four million people a year. That's a lot
Speaker 1: of people. Um, four million displace a credit card. Uh
Speaker 1: it is involving displacing something, but not a credit card.
Speaker 1: Take another, guess you're really dark. Displacing a kid? Uh No,
Speaker 1: it is locking their keys in the car. Buck. I
Speaker 1: did that the other day. It wasn't with my keys,
Speaker 1: it was with my air pod case. Like the air
Speaker 1: pod cases are chargers, and I fucking lost it. Well
Speaker 1: that's not no, but this is like you you lock
Speaker 1: your keys in your car, you you have to then
Speaker 1: get a locksmith to come open the car. I know,
Speaker 1: but my air pods don't work anymore unless they're in
Speaker 1: a charger. And I lost the charger, which is the case.
Speaker 1: So why don't you go buy a new charger? I
Speaker 1: mean I will, but it just it sucks because I
Speaker 1: transferred it from my bag when I was working out
Speaker 1: to I don't know where, and I got some rip
Speaker 1: Off air pods that are amazing and you don't need
Speaker 1: to get the I know your West of the four
Speaker 1: oh five. So you know, you're apparently very wealthy. Make
Speaker 1: a lot of money off this podcast. You can for that.
Speaker 1: But but I I use rip off air pods and
Speaker 1: I love them. I don't need the the brand, the
Speaker 1: Apple brand with the air pods, I I I'm very
Speaker 1: good with these right here next to my desk. Can
Speaker 1: I have them? No, But I'll buy you some if
Speaker 1: you want. You know you won't use them, I know, you.
Speaker 1: You will not use them because they're not cool. The
Speaker 1: guy with a fifteen month old steak in his fucking house. Oh,
Speaker 1: by the way, it's aged. By the way. I did
Speaker 1: go to Whole Foods the other day, Ben and I
Speaker 1: bought me and the Chief a tomahawks steak and it
Speaker 1: was awesome. It was good. That was really good. Yeah,
Speaker 1: tu and a half pounds. I was really nervous because
Speaker 1: I've never cooked a tomahawk before. And and my dad,
Speaker 1: I don't know if he's like your dad at all,
Speaker 1: but my dad, like he just has that specific taste
Speaker 1: and he does not budge, so it's something tastes wonderful
Speaker 1: to me, like, yeah, that's right, and you know I've
Speaker 1: had you know better like like that. But it's really
Speaker 1: anal when it comes to seafood, especially uh, scallops and
Speaker 1: shrimp and then steak the same thing. So he's kind
Speaker 1: of the litmus test. If if the Chief approves, then
Speaker 1: I did a good job. And yeah he approved, man,
Speaker 1: I was. I was really fucking nervous about it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so you you you cooked it up there, yeah, Chef
Speaker 1: Jeff gag On, Yeah, it took it took a hot
Speaker 1: minute though. It took gosh, I was sales close to
Speaker 1: forty five minutes. To do you cook it the way
Speaker 1: I like it, where it's well done? Yeah, you would
Speaker 1: have liked it. Yeah, good same like god, good job.
Speaker 1: You see that, you haters of me eating well done steak.
Speaker 1: This guy ran the L A p. D Heat steak
Speaker 1: like that. You see that. Real men eat their steak
Speaker 1: well done, that like you with blood dripping off. Yeah.
Speaker 1: He I had to do it like that. So when
Speaker 1: we butterfly it open. Yeah, he had a butterfly cut,
Speaker 1: the perfect cut for a steak. I love the butterfly cut. Yeah.
Speaker 1: He was the chief inspector, so I was is that
Speaker 1: butterfly good? Yeah? I did do it right though. I
Speaker 1: mean I put I put butter all over the top
Speaker 1: of it, melted it an end at four seventy five,
Speaker 1: and then some base on top. It was so it
Speaker 1: was crusted and crusted. It almost looked like a It
Speaker 1: almost looked like it was breaded in such a way
Speaker 1: that the crust on top. That's awesome. Yeah, that's good.
Speaker 1: Maybe I'll have you come over. You can cook cammahawk
Speaker 1: steak and you can make it just like that. Sounds good.
Speaker 1: I have a little bitter though, because when I bought
Speaker 1: it a Whole Foods, I bought two of them, one
Speaker 1: for now, one for later. Both of them costs seventy
Speaker 1: dollars total. I was like surprised by it because the
Speaker 1: Whole Foods was thinking it was like four a pound
Speaker 1: or something that nature. And uh yeah they call it
Speaker 1: whole paycheck for a reason. But yeah, so anyway, uh wow, wow, wow.
Speaker 1: What else do we have here? Let's see page down,
Speaker 1: page down. I'll do a few more. This is the
Speaker 1: Saturday podcast. But I do want to I don't want
Speaker 1: to put the baby to bed because we have we
Speaker 1: have a lot of email questions on the mail bag,
Speaker 1: which is exciting. Alright. Demand for this occupation is expected
Speaker 1: to increase by nearly twenty by nights. So if you're
Speaker 1: a young kid, you're looking for a career that's gonna
Speaker 1: have a lot of demand, and this would be one
Speaker 1: of those careers. Um, it's gonna be something the crypto
Speaker 1: currency stages, right, like someone like in finance. Uh no, no,
Speaker 1: this is actually a veterinarian, a dog doctor, you know,
Speaker 1: a pet doctor. Oh yeah, people, Apparently there's gonna be
Speaker 1: a more of a demand for a pet doctor. Isn't
Speaker 1: that exciting? You're not. You're not. You don't seem excited
Speaker 1: by that. Okay, how's your crypto doing? By the way
Speaker 1: you invest in a crypto or anything, I have some,
Speaker 1: I have some. It's not like good listen to advice
Speaker 1: of certain colleagues and just you know, better off on
Speaker 1: my own. That's all right, you know, by the dip.
Speaker 1: That's what I keep all my buddies keep telling me.
Speaker 1: I got I got a friend of mine that loves bitcoin, right,
Speaker 1: and he was trying to get me to buy it
Speaker 1: when bitcoin was at seventy or sixty thousand or something
Speaker 1: like that, right, and nah, like, nah, I'm not gonna
Speaker 1: do it. And it's it was like sixty five or
Speaker 1: have any thousand, and now it's down to like forty thousand.
Speaker 1: But my experience and I and I can't say the
Speaker 1: name of it, but I have bought a my first crypto,
Speaker 1: my first crypto, which is the I called the overnight
Speaker 1: affordable working man's crypto that you can actually afford. And
Speaker 1: now that that has gone up and down, but I
Speaker 1: think that's just the way that crypto is, right. There's
Speaker 1: a lot of peaks and valleys, and you you can't
Speaker 1: get too worked up when it goes low, and you
Speaker 1: can't get too excited and when it goes high unless
Speaker 1: you're willing to sell it. I'm not like that. That
Speaker 1: that famous story the guy. I think we might have
Speaker 1: talked about it here. I mentioned it somewhere. I don't
Speaker 1: know if it was on a into a hot microphone.
Speaker 1: But there was the financial guy from London who had
Speaker 1: made so much money off buying the the crypto that
Speaker 1: I've invested in. When it went up just a little bit,
Speaker 1: he had so many millions of shares that he he
Speaker 1: just quit and just retired. Young guy just that just
Speaker 1: made his move. That was it? Pretty nice? All right?
Speaker 1: Fifteen pcent of us have taken a day off from
Speaker 1: work because of this hangover now stubbing our toe. What
Speaker 1: a bunch of bitches? Yeah what I uh? I mean,
Speaker 1: my god. I had a producer one time that missed
Speaker 1: work because he had pink eye. You thought that was
Speaker 1: pretty embarrassed. You had a producer one day miss work
Speaker 1: because a certain football team lost the game. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1: I've I've had a lot of interesting things that I
Speaker 1: have taken place here of people do this when staying
Speaker 1: at hotel, even if they never do it in their
Speaker 1: own home. They stripped on the bed. No, they walk
Speaker 1: around naked that all the time. Yeah, okay, congratulations acknowledging it.
Speaker 1: I wish I had clothes on in the shower. That's
Speaker 1: how much be naked, kright. The the average woman has
Speaker 1: seven of these and the average man has five. What
Speaker 1: is it? Oh man shoes? Uh? No, pair of jeans?
Speaker 1: Oh fuck, I didn't get a couple of pairs of jeans. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I I bought a lot of my jeans when I
Speaker 1: was doing my yo yo thing where I was fat
Speaker 1: by brutal. Then I lost weight, got down to skin
Speaker 1: and bones, and then but I'm in the middle kind
Speaker 1: of you know, I've I've I'm not in the middle.
Speaker 1: I'm closer to the skinny one. But but you're treating
Speaker 1: parts of the belt then right, yeah, yeah, that's not
Speaker 1: see I have. I have one of those belts that
Speaker 1: they like, the metallic ones where you can clip them
Speaker 1: so you you put it on and then there's no
Speaker 1: belt loop per se. There's no like hole inside the belt.
Speaker 1: It's just a clip, so you fasten it almost like
Speaker 1: a safety belt. And I have one of those. That's
Speaker 1: probably the safest for me. But yeah, like losing the weight,
Speaker 1: I would imagine like your jeans will look really folded
Speaker 1: around like your belly button of backside when you when
Speaker 1: you've lost all that weight. Yeah, And they say you're
Speaker 1: supposed to wear jeans because it's a sign, you know,
Speaker 1: when you're getting fat or skinny based on the jeans, right,
Speaker 1: because the way they fit. Yeah, Yeah, alright, last one
Speaker 1: on this and we'll put the baby to bed for Saturday.
Speaker 1: Of passengers say this is the most annoying thing that
Speaker 1: a driver does. What is it? Hitting the brakes? Uh? No, No,
Speaker 1: steering the car with their knees. I've never done that.
Speaker 1: Is that even? Are you even able to do that successfully? Like,
Speaker 1: I'm a pretty casual driver where I have my hand
Speaker 1: on the bottom part of the steering wheel. My wife
Speaker 1: is more of an intense driver, where she has both
Speaker 1: hands on the steering wheel at all time. Yeah. Like,
Speaker 1: I'm pretty casual and I'll just kind of have like
Speaker 1: one unless there's a you know, possible collision or something,
Speaker 1: and I'll put both hands. But usually wh I'm just
Speaker 1: driving down the highway and I got the cruise control on.
Speaker 1: I just got one hand on the wheel, that's all
Speaker 1: I need. I'll do it when um, when I'm trying
Speaker 1: to tie a tie, I'll do it. And I'll drive
Speaker 1: with a knee or if I'm eating something that requires
Speaker 1: two hands. Yeah, learned it awkwardly from my dad back
Speaker 1: in the day as a kid. Yeah, your dad touched
Speaker 1: you how to drive. He didn't know, but I just
Speaker 1: saw him as a kid. And you know, monkey, see monkey,
Speaker 1: do you learned by osmosis? It's not good. I got you,
Speaker 1: I got you, all right. Well, Anny, thank you for listening. Obviously,
